After the fork, GDB will physically remove the breakpoints from the child
process (in frame #14), but at that time, GDB doesn't create an inferior
yet for child, but inferior_ptid is set to child's ptid (in frame #13).
In aarch64_point_is_aligned, we'll get the regcache of current_lwp_ptid
to determine if the current process is 32-bit or 64-bit, so the inferior
can't be found, and the internal error is caused.
I don't find a better fix other than not checking alignment on removing
breakpoint.

* nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.c (aarch64_dr_state_remove_one_point):
Don't assert on alignment.
(aarch64_handle_breakpoint): Only check alignment when IS_INSERT
is true.
